Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Can the Taoiseach give the House an indication of the current position on the Bill that has been promised to protect families that have fallen into arrears with their mortgages? The Bill in question was promised during the debate on NAMA. The Taoiseach has previously indicated to the House that negotiations are taking place with the various lending agencies. Has a Bill come before the Cabinet? Have discussions taken place at Cabinet level? What form is the legislative proposal likely to take?
